Ninja-Bear Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 Hello, I was wondering if I could get some help with my password for this site. When I originally set up my account, I linked it to my Verizon email. Well several years later and I want to change where my password would go to (I use gmail) and I can’t remember how to access my Verizon account nor does my wife. I was wondering if it would be possible for a moderator to change it to my gmail account? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 Just go to your account settings and change it - no need for an admin to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja-Bear Posted January 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 I can’t sauce I cant remember my password for Hero games. I’m kept logged in on my phone. So I can’t change my email cause to reset the Hero password it sends it to the Verizon account which can’t reset cause I don’t remember that one. (Normally I write these down but unfortunately I didn’t this time). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninja-Bear Posted January 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 I would but then it asks me for confirmation which I can’t give cause I don’t remember this password either. I would gladly reset it but as I initially said it’s linked to my old Verizon account which I don’t have access to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 Then you’re SOL - we will not edit an account that you do not have either the password or email access for. Gnome BODY (important!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would gladly reset it but as I initially said it’s linked to my old Verizon account which I don’t have access to. N-B, I just went and changed my password. It did not ask me to give any confirmation via email or anything else. Go to account settings, then password It should have three fields. the first is current password which, if you are logged in, should already be filled in. The next is the new password and the second to confirm the new password. That simply works. No reference to email. i did it and the new password works perfectly while the old one does not allow me in any more. As for the email address, the rubric says "An email will be sent to the email address you specify below, outlining what you need to do.". I presume that means to the new email address that you enter - not the old one. I did not try this because it also says "You will have to re-activate your account after changing your email address" and I have no idea what that would entail and so being helpful only went so far for me... 😄 Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not the case for me. I assume you have your web browser autofilling your password.

Doc Democracy Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 oops, I have a password manager filling things in, I guess that makes it different for poor Ninja-Bear.... 😞 Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja-Bear Posted January 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 Yup, I’m signed in but when I go to that screen Doc it still asks me to for my current password. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninja-Bear Posted January 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 Thanks for all the help. Doc you're a genius. So here's what happened First (which i didn't know) Verizon terminated their email accounts in 2017. Second at some point i used my wife's computer to loggin, which i rarely do. But when i did, i saved my password using a password manage (thanks Doc for the ides!) So i was able to change (and write down) the password!
